Here's the third and final part of Slater Stich's "History of diffusion" interview series!
The other two interviewees' research played a pivotal role in the rise of diffusion models, whereas I just like to yap about them 😬 this was a wonderful opportunity to do exactly that!

Great interview with @jascha.sohldickstein.com about diffusion models! This is the first in a series: similar interviews with Yang Song and yours truly will follow soon.
(One of these is not like the others -- both of them basically invented the field, and I occasionally write a blog post 🥲)

Amazing interview with Yang Song, one of the key researchers we have to thank for diffusion models.
The most important lesson: be fearless! The community's view on score matching was quite pessimistic at the time, he went against the grain and made it work at scale!

Adding fixed effects is supposed to reduce bias — but under realistic parameter heterogeneity, it can make bias worse
I wrote a post explaining how and why this can happen, with simulations and what you can do about it
